Hi Pearl,

The situation you find yourself in is a common result due to feeding an excessively high protein diet.

Unfortunately when a greyhound is forced to burn protein instead of complex carbohydrates for energy it results in an excessive amount of waste product that has to be removed by the kidneys from the blood plasma.

In the long term this can result in reduced kidney function that some greyhounds never fully recover from.

The only thing I can suggest is that you do away with Coprice as well and swap over to a brown bread and meat diet.

And while I’m certainly not in favour of the product being used on every dog all the time, using the recommended dose of Neutradex for the next four to six weeks after each run will assist the kidneys in removing waste products more efficiently and should therefore aid in kidney recovery.

It may also be worth reading THIS string of posts.

Cheers,
Tom
